I stand corrected on the lineage years. Parts fiche gives different #s for the piston pin but the connecting rod appears to be the same (R1 # recently updated.) It might be easy enough to swap the '07-'08 cylinder bank along with the R1 pistons, pins and R1 head gasket to get you to a liter...

The answer is no to the 07-08 R1. The FZ8 engine is a variant of the 04-06 R1 and little brother to the GEN II FZ1. In addition to the piston diameter difference, the FZ8 has smaller valves, ports, injectors, throttle bodies and exhaust pipe diameter which limit gains from a bore size...

I suggest that you first check the configuration of the triple stem mounting to make sure it is assembled correctly. The PO may have attempted to service or repair the bearings and did not reassemble in the proper manner. Also, the PO may have made substitutions such as using FZ1 parts or...

R1 forks are somewhat shorter than the FZ8/1. Check the free length compared to your stock forks. Lowering the front end reduces the effective steering head angle approximately 1 degree for every inch. The FZ8/1 was designed for 25 degrees of head angle. The R1 for 24. Also, the R1 triple...

From the pictured damage it appears that it occurred while the axle nut was being loosened. Furthermore, it appears that a screwdriver or chisel was inserted (hammered-in) between the axle and block ("chain 2 puller" - 5VY-25389-01-00) to prevent rotation while the torque was applied to the nut...

Check out the forum threads for front suspension. Unfortunately, there are very few easy fixes. The stock spring rate is .90 kg/mm-50#/in. The Racetech Spring Calculator says at your weight for class B canyon the rate should be .95-53, fairly close to stock. The question is: do you routinely...

How big a boy are you? (Roy G. Murcer character quote)

Since you are moving the R6 at less of an angle with the same spring pressure at the throttle shaft it stands to reason that it will feel like more torque is required. Also check that when you installed the cable ends into the tube that you did not untwist the cable. That will increase the...

Been There, Done That (more than once) Spike, Here is a link to a fairly comprehensive 'how to': SManZ's R1 Front End Conversion/Mini How-To - FZ1OA Message Board There are many R1 - FZ1 - FZ8 similarities. Not the front wheel, axle & brakes. Best to get a complete package of R1 forks, axle...

Finished the production run, adapters are available, PM for info.

So Many Questions . . . I have a few adapters left, PM for info. Requires '04-'08 R1 shock. R1 Shocks from '09 & up have higher reservoir and require relocation of voltage regulator. Many R1 fork options - search here and FZ1OA Message Board - Powered by vBulletin. Generally speaking you have...

Send me a P.M.

If you must . . . Substitute the dogbone from an '04-'06 R1 and you will raise the rear about 14mm (+1/2"). Fleabay for about $15. Use my adapter with an R1 shock ('04-'08) depending on riders weight and you will up your ante about 20mm (+3/4") and have a much better shock. PM for info. If...
